"Victor Klemperer's diaries as a podcast: insight into the eventful history of Germany"

The Diary from Victor Klemperer offer a fascinating insight into the great upheavals that he experienced in Germany of the 20th century. From the Weimar Republic to the Nazi period to the young GDR, Klemperer recorded his observations and did not evaluate the events from its end, but continuously. Now his diaries are made accessible to the public in the form of a podcast entitled "The story goes on".

The host of the podcast is the well -known historian and journalist Leonie Schöler, who has already received several awards through her web videos on historical and political topics. With her expertise and her successful Tikok channel, she gives Victor Klemperer's diary records a fresh and modern approach. Each episode of the podcast begins with Schöler's explanations on the historical context before the radio play version of the diary entries by Klemperer is presented. This enables the listener to understand historical events.

A central aspect in Klemperer's diaries is the effect of political changes on the everyday life of people. Klemperer describes the gradual changes in detail, the increasing exclusion and ultimately the persecution during National Socialism. Even after the end of the Second World War, Klemperer hoped for a radical new beginning in the young GDR, but found that many productions of the new power reminded the dark times of the Weimar Republic. The manipulation of the language and its without criticism also show parallels to the past.

The podcast "The story goes on" consists of three seasons, each dedicated to a historical section. In bonus sequences, Leonie Schöler exchanges experts on the topics discussed and includes current developments in order to give the audience an insight into the connection between past and present.

From July 29, the first episodes of the podcast can be heard in the Deutschlandfunk app and on various podcast platforms. "The story continues - Victor Klemperer's diary" is an exciting and informative project that offers all those interested in history a unique insight into the moving history of Germany.
